Front-of-package labelling consumer research and consultation

In 2016, preliminary consumer feedback was obtained on an initial set of front-of-package symbols through focus group testing conducted across Canada. This public opinion research explored consumer preferences on the front-of-package labelling approach, symbol size and symbol location to ensure the proposed front-of-package system is quick and easy for consumers to notice and understand.
